Mean-Field Theory of Surface Melting

  • Conference paper
The Structure of Surfaces II

Part of the book series: Springer Series in ((SSSUR,volume 11))

Abstract

The theory of surface melting has so far been approached either phenomenologically [1,2,3], or by computer simulation [4,5]. With these methods, many questions regarding the explicit behavior of important thermodynamic quantities, such as surface free energy and its possible singularities, are left open.
